MDPro 1.080, alias MDLite, is ready :)

After a lot of work and a lot of time, finally MDLite, or better MDPro 1.080, is ready.  You should also be aware that development and support for MDPro 1.076 or previous version has stopped, as we will turn our full attention to preparing MDPro 1.085, evolution from this version with some suprises we plan to release soon, and MDPro 1.1 with new core.

Before beginning to use MDLite, please keep in mind that remove all files and re-install it if you have installed RC versions.

Another important note about MDLite is that MDLite represents a transitional development as we move toward producing MD 1.1 with a new core. As explained further below, we have rewritten a large amount of code, made it simple and easy to use, added documentation, optimized performance etc. With MDLite and MD 1.1 you will see that we have changed our philosophy and have focused on creating a small core to allow users to install ONLY the modules, blocks and addons they need. MDLite also introduces a new MD directory and files structure. This structure will continue to be improved upon in MD 1.1.

MDPro Lite, alias MDLite, is ready :)

After a lot of work and a lot of time, finally MDLite, for now just in RC release, is ready. To help us make the final release as soon as possible, please download it, use it, test it and report any bugs, and/or your comments and suggestions. You should also be aware that development of MDPro 1.076 has stopped, as we will turn our full attention to preparing MD 1.1. Any additional security fixes for MD 1.076 will only continue for a short time.

Before beginning to use MDLite, please keep in mind that this is an RC release. So please don't use it in an operational site. This release will allow you to install it for testing purposes and to discover its new features.

As we wrote in this news today we will start the MDLite beta test, and we have released a first beta of MDLite to our MDBoosters.  They will begin to test, check it, write and revise docs, etc.  We plan to release several beta versions before releasing MDLite so we can debug it better.  TiMax

We've made several mentions in the past of the smaller, leaner core that will be in MDlite and how only the essential modules will be included in the distribution, with many of the modules included in MDPro 1.075 made add-ons. MDlite will be much more than 1.075 with non-essential modules removed though. MDlite will be a bridge between the 1.07 branch and MDPro 1.1, which we think will be a milestone release and represent a major improvement.  Some of the changes that will be found in 1.1 that will also appear in MDlite include changes in the API that will consolidate defines into a single file and the consolidation of modules with related functions. This latter change will make all future releases of MDPro (from MDlite on) easier to use as a single module will administer all related functions, ending confusion among some new users/administrators about how and where to find how to accomplish certain configuration changes.  Some of the changes will be much more than consolidation though as many new features are added to these new modules, adding greatly to the enhancements and refinements that distinguish MDPro from many of the other CMSs, including those whose codebase we presently share to varying and decreasing degrees.
